ONE of Britain's biggest trade unions is to snub Peugeot over its plans to close the Ryton plant at Coventry with the loss of 2,000 jobs.

The French car firm is being removed from a list of companies approved to bid for the 350-strong car fleet of GMB union.

It's the latest twist in the plan by unions to pressurise Peugeot to back down from moving jobs to Slovakia.

Mr Kenny said: "In view of the actions of the Peugeot company towards our brothers and sisters in the TGWU and Amicus, the GMB will be removing Peugeot from our list of approved tenderers when our fleet car scheme shortly comes up for review."
